Vegan Schnitzel
Blog and recipe from the lovely Katrina Stones, Chef extraordinaire from UNE Life, Functions & Catering
Looking for a healthy alternative to a standard Schnitty?
There are a few things you should know about this recipe….
- It’s seriously simple
- It’s super delicious
- We’ve made a few traditional substitutions for a strange counterpart….
Aquafaba…..🤷♀️
What is Aquafaba you ask… Well, it’s the juice from a can of chickpeas… yep that slimy stuff you normally throw down the sink… It works just the same as eggwhites… and roumor has it, it’s pretty trendy these days! #vegantreat
INGREDIENTS:
- 4 large flat mushrooms
- Panko bread crumbs
- Aquafaba (the liquid from the chickpeas, remember)
- Salt and pepper
- Fresh thyme
Okay, so you’ve got it, you need chickpeas, bread crumbs and some mushrooms… But don’t chuck the chickpeas, next week I will show you how to make the best hummus EVER 👌
METHOD:
- Preheat your oven to 180c
-
Take the stalk out of the Mushrooms but no need to peel it
-
Gently whip your aquafaba up in a small bowl using an electric beater or a whisk
-
Mix a pinch of salt, pepper, and fresh thyme into your breadcrumbs
-
Coat your mushrooms in the aquafaba and then with the breadcrumbs, make sure the crumbs cover the mushrooms nice and evenly
-
Place onto a lined baking tray, drizzel with a little oil and bake for 20min until golden and just soft
Serve on a burger (with delicious things like cheese…maybe blue, rocket, balsamic mmm) in place of your normal schnitty or as a main with a yummy salad and condiments (we love garlic aioli and pickles).
Enjoy!
